PAUSE Self Test
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the printer’s mechanical assemblies or to determine if any printhead elements are not working. Figure 17 shows a sample printout.
To perform a PAUSE self test, complete these steps:
1.Turn off (O) the printer.
2.Press and hold PAUSE while turning on (I) the printer. Hold PAUSE until the first control panel light turns off.
•The initial self test prints 15 labels at the printer’s slowest speed, and then automatically pauses the printer. Each time PAUSE is pressed, an additional 15 labels print. Figure 17 shows a sample of the labels.

•While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL alters the self test. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 15 labels print at 6 in. (152 mm) per second.
•While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a second time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at the printer’s slowest speed
•While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a third time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at 6 in. (152 mm) per second.
•While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a fourth time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 15 labels print at the printer’s maximum speed.
3.To exit this self test at any time, press and hold CANCEL.
